Let's take a closer look at five key principles of classical conditioning: 1. Acquisition. Acquisition is the initial stage of learning when a response is first established and gradually strengthened. During the acquisition phase of classical conditioning, a neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with an unconditioned stimulus.
Generation X refers to the generation of people that were born after the generation of âbaby boomersâ which happened after World War II.t was back in the early part of the 1950s that âGeneration Xâ was first coined by Cappa to describe young people in pictures after World War II. After which, the term was used to refer to the young generation who seemed to have no identity, hence the âXâ in the term.
Though the oldest Gen Xer is now 50, the Gen X population will still grow for a few more years. The Gen X population is projected to outnumber the Boomers in 2028 when there will be 64.6 million Gen Xers and 63.7 million Boomers. The Census Bureau projects that the Gen X population will peak at 65.8 million in 2018.
